I’m sure you’ve all seen the books like this. . .
a guide to eating healthier, by making smarter food choices! This is my take on ‘Eat This, Not That – the pizza version :-)
Friday is often ‘pizza night’ here, well it used to be for Jason and Kristen, I was always watching what I ate and didn’t even want a slice of Dominos or Digorno, or whatever it was they were having. But of course sometimes I did, and I always felt like I was eating something really greasy and very unhealthy! Last week I bought some ready made pizza crusts so Kristen could make her own pizza, I got them from Target, one pack was whole wheat, the other was a cheesy one, she really liked making her own. This past week I went one step further and bought frozen whole wheat pizza dough from Whole Foods Market. Once it was defrosted in the fridge we could roll it out and top it with whatever we liked. . . .
Kristen’s (and Daddy’s) was topped with Italian sausage, turkey pepperoni shredded and fresh mozzarella.
Mine was much more colorful (imo), I topped it with shredded mozzarella (just a small amount) then added red onion, yellow bell pepper, fresh mozzarella and a little basil from my herb garden :-) Next time I would add fresh mushrooms too, but I had none in at the time.
oh, and I drizzled it with some really nice olive oil I just bought.
I didn’t take a cooked picture of mine, but I have to tell you it was absolutely delicious, even Jason liked my veggie one. I can see this becoming a Friday night staple here. Next I want to make my own dough(preferably whole wheat) so I can calculate how many ww points is in the whole thing, toppings included.
So, right now, I’m choosing to eat this. . .
not that . . . .

I ♥ your choice for pizza Denise! For years I've been getting thin crust, veggie with light cheese when we go out to pizza. It just tastes so much better to me and doesn't leave me feeling gross. I love how you guys made them at home. Fun to make, AND eat!
I prefer a veggie pizza-yours looks delicious!
That looks really delicious. I love veggies on my pizza. I haven't made pizza at home in years but need to give it a go once more. Thanks for the reminder.
few things are better than a good homemade pizza! yours looks delish!
Hi Denise! I'll take a slice of your pizza, too! I'm not a fan of old school pizzas like pepperoni. I like the CPK type of pizzas. CPK offers a whole wheat crust, too. They have a couple of cookbooks out.
I will share photos of the inside once it's cleared out of the seller's furniture. Don't think they'd like me showing that but I'll send you a link to the house so you can see insdie. :)
Hubby and I have been eating veggie pizza for 20 years and loving it. I still need to pick up this book and see what changes I can make.
Yum! I need to be doing alot more eating like this not that as well. I've been eating bad foods lately and it shows. Ugh.
